We moved into our new house 13 months ago and inherited the rather basic on/off clock without a thermostat that controlled the boiler. Our bills were then set up based on our usage in the months that followed.
In the summer we then spent about £160 on a “smart” controller (multiple time and temperature settings) but carried on paying at the old rate.
I was rather delighted then today to find out that after this winter we were £500 in credit on the gas! GET THE #### IN! £160 well spent!
All I’ve got to do tonight is check that the meter readings match those on the statement… and if they do WAHAY! Good job too as The Mighty Vectra is going in again tomorrow for round 3 of the blowing turbo saga.
If you have an old controller style controller it may be worth upgrading.
